Feb 10, 2011 5:43 pm ET

Vice President Omar Suleiman repeated the same platitudes that he has announced to the nation all week: that there is a process in place to achieve political reform and that the protesters should allow the government to achieve these changes.

“I am committed to peaceful transfer of power accord to the constitution. I promise to fulfill the demands of the youth revolution. To the youth of Egypt and its heroes – go home,” says Mr. Suleiman.

“This great nation does not care for chaos and will not allow people with other agendas destroy us.”

“The country needs your arms to build and create a better country. Listen to your own mind and your intuition about what endangers us.”

“In our hands we can make this future bright filled with democracy.”

Mr. Suleiman also praised Mr. Mubarak for his patriotism and for his service to the nation. – Margaret Coker
